Exactly and when Paudi was playing he wasn't losing to the likes of Cavan in a championship match or struggling to get over Leitrim. He was closely contested man of the match in the All-Ireland final. Mayo should be quickly forgetting about the past year and move on.

I think Meath should be forgetting about the past year to be honest after 20 points beating in a semi ? Mayo have already forgotten about the past year . What are you talking about?

Good Lord! The keepakers getting the smell of them selves again! Bit of a meltown for a nomination? Don't worry! Kilkennys nomination won't have any impact on the keepak all star! Obviously a huge night for you!

Im sure Kilkenny will take solace in his 8 AI medals and and 6 previous All Stars!

Meath will take alot from the past year but yes there were disappointments along the way most so the two defeats to Louth. They probably had ran their race up to the semi final defeat and Donegal did steam role them 2nd half. Meath will be looking to compete hard next year with physical players around the middle returning from injury and a few additions.
Andy Moran will be starting from scratch but do expect major improvement from Mayo with the size of county and talent there also. They will need however a major adjustment in style of play and get with the times and the new rules.

The All Star nominations list doesn't add up. Good competitive wins over Armagh, Tyrone and Donegal not reflected in the All Star nominations. Very bizarre.

They're individual nominations and awards.

It possibly reflects a perception, rightly or probably wrongly, that there's a larger gap in quality between Kerry's top 5 players and bottom 5 starters, than there is in other leading top15s nationwide. Certainly after winning the league, and demolishing all opposition at the business end of Sam Maguire, there is no logic whatsoever to the notion that any county deserved more allstar nominees or awards than Kerry.

Why do the hurling all starts get revealed in advance , but the footballers dont ?

Fingers crossed a Louth man makes the cut this year, would round off a fantatic year for us.

You are totally biased and not a contributor Id take much notice of.Kerry won and deservedly so but players like your midfielders bar Joe O connor while they did ok do not deserve all stars.Be happy with your lot.

Its like that for years bud.Every second year only one code named on the night.Last year the footballers were named early and the hurlers on the night.Nothing new here.

I think Ryan Burns was the best Louth forward this year, what a player.
